Riversong Motive+: Affordable, functional and durable

Known for its IT accessories and audio products, Riversong, which is the subsidiary of Chinese IT major IMG Technology, recently entered the smart wearables market with its ‘Motive’ series of smartwatches and ‘Wave’ fitness band. The company also makes a watch for kids, ‘Jelly’.

Riversong enters the smartwatch market at a time when the sector is witnessing brisk action and brands of all hues are vying with each other to control the wearables market, which has been growing exponentially.

In the current scenario, three important factors hold the key to a smartwatch making the cut in the crowded market — affordability, functionality and durability. Clearly, priced pocket-friendly, the Motive+ smartwatch, which we have under review here — ticks the first criteria. The Motive+ costs ₹4,999 (online stores offer handsome discounts).
